We don't need medicine, prescription glasses, clothes...
We are all perfect already.
No, it's more like "we don't need to change our skin colour or our sexuallity etc., we are perfect already."
That's definitely what they were going for. X-men had other jokes clearly indicating the comparison between the LGBTQ movement and being a mutant. The comparison doesn't work as well for kill everything she touches lady, though lol.
You're being downvoted, but that's exactly what Storm means by what she said.
Like when people would say they were going to "cure you of your urges" just because you were gay.
In the other girl's case though, if there were a way for her not to kill everyone she touches, I'm sure she'd love that.
On the other hand, trans people. They have a problem with how they were born, and if they want to change that it's nobody's business but theirs.
So some more reading on rogue, she is eventually "cured." Not of her powers but of a mental block that is keeping her from controlling them.
So as far as Trans people go, they are diagnosed with body dismorphia and the only known cure is transitioning.
Right, that's what I'm getting at. Storms message of accepting who you are and how you were born sounds great and heartwarming when applied to race or orientation. It completely falls apart in a world where trans people exist. It just seems really outdated.
I dunno, I think storm would be supportive of the trans community. I think storm was defending her own right to be a mutant with enough people telling her she's a freak and people saying they should all be killed.
I bet prof x would provide some psychic help to alleviate the pain of being trapped in the wrong body and beast could provide a less invasive way to fully transition using some gene therapy from mystique cells.
Well, it's just the usual if you apply some principle indiscriminately you may fall flat in doing greater good
